As of Jan. 1, 2012, all RQI number requests must be submitted online or by telephone, as AIM will no longer be supporting requests sent via fax. (The fax option will remain available for physicians who are submitting clinical information for existing requests.)

Internet Requests

AIM’s ProviderPortalSM offers an easy-to-use Web interface that is available 24/7. Visit americanimaging.net/goweb to register, submit RQI number requests, or check the status of open requests.

Telephone Requests

AIM’s call center is available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., CT, at 800-859-5299. You may call AIM to submit an RQI request, or to verify that an order number has been issued.

For more information about the BCBSTX RQI program, administered by AIM, refer to the Clinical Resources/Radiology Quality Initiative/Preauth Program section of the BCBSTX provider website.
